Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Law
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Climate change, Range, Global warming and Biological dispersal. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity and Phenology. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Assisted colonization, Atmospheric sciences and Extinction.

His Range study combines topics in areas such as Niche, Ecological niche, Realized niche width, Invasive species and Physical geography. Lesley Hughes performs multidisciplinary study in Global warming and Latent extinction risk in his work. His Greenhouse effect research includes elements of Climate variation and Geographic distribution.

His most cited work include:

  • Extinction risk from climate change (5460 citations)
  • Biological consequences of global warming: is the signal already apparent? (1587 citations)
  • Climate change and Australia: Trends, projections and impacts (649 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Ecology, Biodiversity, Environmental resource management and Range. His work on Global warming as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Natural resource economics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Herbivore, Introduced species, Habitat, Species richness and Temperate climate are components of Ecology.

The concepts of his Herbivore study are interwoven with issues in Abundance and Guild. His research in Introduced species focuses on subjects like Invasive species, which are connected to Ecological niche. His Range research integrates issues from Niche and Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (48.33%)
  • Ecology (37.32%)
  • Biodiversity (18.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Climate change (48.33%)
  • Environmental resource management (15.31%)
  • Environmental planning (8.61%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Coral reef and Environmental protection are his primary areas of study. Lesley Hughes interconnects Meteorology and Ecosystem in the investigation of issues within Climate change. His Environmental resource management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Assisted colonization, Extinction and Phenotypic plasticity.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Global warming, Adaptive management and Tropics in addition to Coral reef. The subject of his Land use, land-use change and forestry research is within the realm of Ecology. He does research in Ecology, focusing on Guild specifically.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Renewal ecology: conservation for the Anthropocene (19 citations)
  • The power of the transplant: direct assessment of climate change impacts (18 citations)
  • Cranking up the intensity: climate change and extreme weather events (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Law
  • Biodiversity

Lesley Hughes mainly focuses on Climate change, Environmental resource management, Business, Biodiversity and Extreme heat. Climate change is frequently linked to Meteorology in his study. Lesley Hughes has researched Environmental resource management in several fields, including Guild, Assisted colonization, Adaptive capacity and Phenotypic plasticity.

His Business research overlaps with Water security, Water resource management, Restoration ecology, Precautionary principle and Land use, land-use change and forestry. His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Global warming, Coral reef, Tropics and Ecosystem.
